Astronomers will be hoping for clear skies for the event, and the forecast is looking promising. The majority of the country is set to be relatively cloud free over the weekend and through the early part of next week, although there is a risk of fog obscuring visibility in some areas. But with the clear skies comes a drop in temperature and night time temperatures may be as low as -6 °C for some.
